why lisbon?

An epitome of the new urban trend of living

Over the last few years, Lisbon’s historic city center has been renovated, and the prices are still low compared to other European capitals like London or Paris. The government has also developed several policies, visas, and residencies to attract young professionals, enterprises, and investors, by offering significant benefits when buying real estate. There are practically no restrictions for foreign buyers in Portugal, and the purchase process is fairly uncomplicated and straightforward when you’re guided by a professional. Throughout all these changes, Lisbon has become a center of tech and creative industries, all while managing to preserve its magical charm and mysterious intrigue. The city offers an interplay between the industrial and the natural; a perfect balance created by an urban area surrounded by beautiful beach towns and rural landscapes.
